Addressing the AK Party’s provincial heads, Erdoğan said: “We have established the superiority of the national will by fighting against all the enemies of our freedom and future from tutelage forces to terrorist organizations, from putschists to economic hitmen. Today, Turkey is one of the few countries in its region and the world that can truly exercise their sovereign rights.”

“We have established the superiority of the national will”

“We have carried Turkey to the next level by providing 5-10 times more services than that had been done in the history of the Republic. We have established the superiority of the national will by fighting against all the enemies of our freedom and future from tutelage forces to terrorist organizations, from putschists to economic hitmen. Today, Turkey is one of the few countries in its region and the world that can truly exercise their sovereign rights.”

“As the global political and economic order crumples, we work to make the best of the opportunities ahead of Turkey,” Erdoğan noted.

“We increased turkey’s average annual growth rate up to 5.1%”

Recalling that Turkey’s average annual growth rate was less than 1% when they came to power, Erdoğan said: “We have increased Turkey’s average annual growth rate up to 5.1 %. The annual amount of investments in Turkey was TL70 billion. We have increased this number up to TL1.4 trillion. Our export volume was $36 billion. We closed 2020 with an export volume of $170 billion. Inshallah, we will exceed $200 billion this year. In 2019, we managed to turn the current account deficit, which had been the greatest problem of our economy for years, into surplus. Inshallah, we will see the same picture soon.” (ILKHA)
